The JZ motors have their upper and lower oil pans sealed with black FIPG along with the oil pump as there is no gasket available for them at all if it gives you any idea of what route you want to go. A tube of black FIPG usually takes care of the 3 surfaces.

check the wire on the oil pressure sensor plug. its a single wire that gets a lot of abuse.

Hey update time!!!!
other than being lazy when it comes to updating. I have been daily driving my celica with a few month now with some new add ons and new problems. I have been fix stuff like wiring at starting to weather at the connector and coolants hose. But still have an annoying idle problem when driving it for a long time and when it hot outside. Replaced the idle control valve, made sure idle screw was properly adjusted. But I think either two things my coolant has leaks where air comes through or my timing needs to be adjusted. Anybody run through that same problem??? But in the meantime I have this annoying issue cosmetically speaking with my headlight gaskets that keep wanting to come off. I lost the clips that held them in place. Does anybody know what to do about them. |
